A dream debut for Rinku Ghosh

Going by the promos, Durgesh Nandini looks like a typical village belle — naughty but innocent. However, such girls, when pushed to the wall, overcome their village innocence and don a completely different avatar that sends their enemies scurrying for cover. Durgesh Nandini is one such girl whose journey starts in a village and moves to a big city where she owns a huge real estate property.

Model-turned-actress Rinku Ghosh who plays the protagonist Durgesh Nandini in the forthcoming soap on Sony of the same name is completely in love with the character she plays in her debut show.

Rinku always wanted to be an actress. In fact, such was her fascination for glamour and showbiz that while she was studying for her graduation she made the rounds of advertising agencies for a break in modeling. And when she got the break for Kelvinator commercial she sidelined her studies. "But I managed to complete my graduation in Arts," adds the TV debutant who has done quite a few prestigious commercials for consumer goods like Parachute, Medimix, Sweekar, Rexona and so on. Getting a break in serials wasn't difficult. With the help of a model coordinator, who is also a casting agent for serials, she sent her photographs to Shobna Desai Productions. She was called for an audition and soon after given the title role.
